The Imperial Heir

What Li Wei regretted most was that in his previous life, in the name of justice, he had led the charge to overthrow his own father's rule. The so-called justice and law had all been lies told by others. He could present himself as noble and keep his hands clean only because his father was standing behind him.

In his last life, he had been the most useful pawn, used by the great clans to attack his father. In this life, Li Wei didn't want to be a pawn. No one would control him.

After Li Wei refused to be a puppet, the young master of the Lu family, who had always used him, said, “His Highness and I are closest. I don't believe he'd target my family.”

The young master of the Wang family said, “I know what His Highness is like. He must have had no choice but to do this.”

The court officials said, “His Highness has devoted himself to Great Chu. How could we act against him?”

Li Wei looked at the noble young men and senior officials who were utterly devoted to him and smiled faintly. So this was how good it felt to manipulate people.

An official imprisoned after Li Wei caught him in wrongdoing shouted his protests to the emperor, claiming that the prince was cruel and ruthless. The emperor didn't believe a word of it. His son was filial, virtuous, and kind. How could he have done such things? Surely the official had brought it on himself by failing to govern with integrity?

Countless imprisoned officials gazed up at the sky and sighed. “How can they not see His Highness's true nature? Are they all blind?”

Coming soon: I Can't Live Without the Crown Prince

[Bright, confident, direct heroine x stern, insecure, clingy hero]

Mo Xinghuang was born into a noble family and had an easy life growing up, but recently she'd encountered something strange. Her once-vibrant body had become frail and sickly, and no amount of rest seemed to help, until one day at a banquet.

When Mo Xinghuang fainted from the pain, the crown prince reached out to support her. With that one touch, all the pain in her body disappeared.

Overjoyed, Mo Xinghuang pretended to faint in the crown prince's arms. She only let her maid help her up after a while, screaming inwardly, “Don't come over! I've been in pain for so many days, and I finally feel better for once!”

Mo Xinghuang began to keep running into the crown prince.

The crown prince took a step back, his voice cold. “I have a bad temper. If Miss Mo keeps pestering me, I'll have no choice but to tell your father.” Mo Xinghuang looked utterly sincere. “I'm not trying to pester you. I can't even live without Your Highness the Crown Prince!” So what if he had a bad temper? She had to drink the medicine, no matter how bitter it was.

Mo Xinghuang spent a hundred gold pieces on an actor while watching a show, came and went with the newly appointed top scholar, and even had an annoying cousin constantly at her side! The crown prince seethed with jealousy. Hadn't she said she couldn't live without him? Why was she so close to other men? He took Mo Xinghuang's hand. She looked at him in confusion. “Your Highness, is something wrong?”

The crown prince's voice was thick with jealousy. “Miss Mo, are you playing with my feelings and then abandoning me?”

Mo Xinghuang: “...”

Later, Mo Xinghuang's illness stopped flaring up all the time, and she began roaming all over the capital. One night, returning home late, she found the crown prince looking like a neglected wife. He sighed. “I hear the new love laughing, but not the old love crying.” On the bed, Mo Xinghuang's eyes were red and tears clung to her lashes. Their fingers were interlocked as her voice broke off and on...

Before the crown prince's wedding, everyone in the capital knew how much effort the Mo family's young lady had put into pursuing him. Throwing herself into his arms was nothing to her. (Mo Xinghuang: Explain what you mean by “throwing myself into his arms.” I was grabbing onto my lifeline!) After they married, though, she was like a completely different person. The crown prince clung to the crown princess constantly and couldn't bear to be apart from her for even a moment.

Mo Xinghuang: They don't know that I really can't live without the crown prince. (Literally. Don't read too much into it.)

The crown prince: Shuang'er really does love me!
